Kat Harper's holiday reunion with her mother turns out to be nothing like she expected. Maybelle Harper has no qualms about flirting with Kat's boyfriend, and she's more interested in seeing old friends than her daughter. Worse yet, she hates cats. But Kat might have to put her disappointment aside when bigger problems arise—unwelcome gifts have been showing up, and doesn't know who they're from.
